In the year 2009, the company had signed the last agreement with the Willys brand. It was then owned by Fiat Chrysler group LLC. But in 2014 Sergio Marchionne took over Fiat Chrysler and formed the FCA. However, the company has claimed that they peacefully collaborate with the FCA group across the global auto markets along with India. Mahindra claims that without any proper reason the complaint was launched by the FCA group to the US International Trace centre because the Roxor is based on sale automobiles produced by the company in those markets where FCA owned vehicles are sold.
